The mixture was heated at reflux for 5 hours and then cooled to room temperature. To the mixture was added potassium acetate (530 mg, 5.4 mmol) and isoamyl nitrite (5.28 mL, 39.6 mmol). The reaction was heated at reflux for 16 hours. The reaction mixture was cooled to room temperature, extracted with saturated aqueous sodium bicarbonate, the organics were dried over sodium sulfate, and concentrated in vacuo to afford a brown oil. The oil was dissolved in methanol (25 mL) and concentrated hydrochloric acid (25 mL) was added. The reaction was stirred at room temperature for 22 hours and the methanol was concentrated in vacuo. The remaining aqueous layer was adjusted to a pH of 7 and the resultant precipitate was filtered to afford a brown solid which was purified by flash chromatography using 50% dichloromethane in heptane as eluent to afford 7-chloro-1H-indazole-5-carbonitrile as a solid (585 mg, 18%): −ESI MS (M−1) 176.0; 1H NMR (400 MHz, CDCl3) δ ppm 8.29 (br. s., 2 H), 8.08 (s, 1 H), 7.61 (s, 1 H).
